Last Friday, we posted the 25th edition of our weekly feature, The Donut Dollie Detail. We couldn’t be prouder of the Red Cross Donut Dollies, and we appreciate them sharing their personal stories of their time serving in Korea and Vietnam.
We’ve received hundreds of comments and would like to thank everyone for their kind words, thoughts and memories of the Donut Dollies.
The link below will take you to the list of the first 25 Donut Dollies featured, including the years served and bases they served on. If you are a veteran or know a vet who served during these years or on a base that one of these women served, please click on their name to view their story. If one of their stories resonates with you or would be of interest to a veteran, family member or friend, we ask that you share it. We’re closing in on 7,000 likes and you can help reach that goal and push beyond it. If you haven’t liked our Facebook page, please do it now!
